After two years, Balsa has returned to Shin Yogo, but her plans to repair her spear are derailed when a procession for the royal family goes suspiciously awry.
As Tanda tends to Balsa’s wounds, the emperor’s star readers receive a letter from a magic weaver with news regarding the mysterious water spirit inside the second prince.
The drought sign has not faded, and Shuga fears the fate of the kingdom is at stake. In Shuga’s pursuit of the truth, will crown prince Sagum prove friend or foe?
Saya unexpectedly collapses, but this is more than a simple case of fatigue. It will take every ounce of Tanda’s skill to bring her back to the world of the living.
It’s time for the Summer Solstice Festival, and a boy named Yarsam gets under Chagum’s skin — but to get his comeuppance, he’ll have to fight Yarsam in the lucha ring.
Balsa escorts Chagum, Tanda and Torogai to Tomi Village to learn more about the egg of the water spirit, but what they learn provides more disquiet than comfort.
An unexpected alliance emerges between Torogai and Shuga. Elsewhere, Balsa, Tonda and Chagum settle into a cave called Hunter’s Hole to wait out the winter.
To while away the winter hours, Balsa tells Chagum about her childhood in the kingdom of Kanbal and the spear-wielding man named Jiguro Musa, who saved her life.
Inspired by her savior, Balsa took an oath to balance the scales of life and death. Inspired by Balsa in turn, Chagum asks to be trained in the way of the spear.
Winter has thawed at last, spring flowers breaking through the frost. Balsa and Chagum leave Hunter’s Hole and travel toward Aoike Pond, but trouble lurks not far behind…
As the Egg Eater closes in on Chagum, a message from Gakai to Shuga provides some clarity regarding the Place of Celebration, but the information may have arrived too late.
With the secret to defeating the Egg Eaters in tow, Balsa pursues Chagum to the true Place of Celebration. At the place where worlds intersect, they make their final stand.
